Introduction: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute reversible left ventricular dysfunction, which occurs mainly in postmenopausal women.
Objectives: The goal of this study was to compare the course of the disease and prognoses in men and women with TTS in 2 large Polish university hospitals.
Patients And Methods: The analysis included 232 patients (211 women and 21 men) hospitalized at the 1st Chair and Department of Cardiology at the Medical University of Warsaw and at the 1st Department of Cardiology at the Medical University of Gdańsk.
Background: Results of scientific research on the effects of periodontitis on the incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) are ambiguous.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the severity and extent of periodontitis with acute MI in Poles.
Material And Methods: This case-control study included 134 cases hospitalized with acute MI under the age of 70 years and 155 controls drawn from the general population with no MI history.
Background: Many epidemiological studies have proven that local infection may influence the levels of systemic lipid profile and inflammatory mediators.
Objectives: The aim of this research was to evaluate the association between the state of the oral cavity, lipids and inflammatory mediator concentrations in Poles after acute myocardial infarction (MI).
Material And Methods: A total of 134 subjects with a mean age of 54.
Introduction: The CHA2DS2-VASc and R2CHA2DS2-VASc scoring systems were designed to stratify thromboembolic risk in patients with atrial fibrillation. The R2CHA2DS2-VASc score, compared with the CHA2DS2-VASc, was modified by adding reduced creatinine clearance.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the long-term predictive value of these scores in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and to compare their utility with TIMI and GRACE scores in this patient group.
